IOWA'S CYBER WORKFORCE.

What is MDC Iowa's Cyber Range?

There are currently more than 664,000 open jobs in the cybersecurity industry that are unfilled due to the lack of workforce. To address this problem, MDC Iowa created Cyber Range, a hands-on learning program designed to introduce non-traditional participants to high-demand jobs that can create intergenerational wealth.

 

Changing the future of the cybersecurity workforce by educating every student, everywhere in Iowa.
